[LBo] Internet Connection Sharing, Desktop (F7, eth0) to Laptop (WinXP, Wireless)?

[Kyle Bauer]

The laptop can get to the outside world just fine over the wireless, and it
can communicate with the desktop over the ethernet as well.  I've had no
problems passing files back and fourth between the two machines.  I just
can't get the desktop to reach the outside world.

Chris, If I can't find a solution using what I already have, then I'll
consider buying a usb adapter.  Thanks for the link.

Also, my apologies for not prefixing the subject with [LBO], I thought the
list did that on its own.  Unless it did and only I see it as not having
it...
